Health economics evidence is a key element in much health services research and particularly in health technology assessments. Identifying economic evidence to inform such research can involve searches in a range of databases and using a variety of strategies. This study day will include a ‘jargon buster’ session on the basics of health economics and economic models. It will also feature presentations about key economics information resources including the CEA Registry, and explorations of options for searching to identify data for economic models. Training will focus on how to identify economic evaluations from major bibliographic databases and will explore the role of AI tools in identifying research evidence.
Early bird price of £83.33 (ex VAT) is applicable until 4 weeks before the course. Full price of £125 (ex VAT).
Facilitators: Julie Glanville, Will Green, Mick Arber
Hosted by: York Health Economics Consortium
